SF 88 would require physicians to obtain a signed acknowledgement as specified when obtaining a pregnant woman’s consent to an abortion.
At least 24 hours before an abortion is performed, a physician would be required to inform the woman, orally and in person, the following:
Prior to the abortion, the pregnant woman would need to sign a certification stating she received the notices and information, and was offered the chance to view the ultrasound and listen to the heartbeat, if audible.
The performing physician would need to receive a copy of the signed certification and retain the documents in the woman’s medical record.
If a medical emergency exists, the requirements may not apply.
